OK. I'll send an updated patch to directly fix the for-rtth radix_tree_tag_get().

Interesting. I got the following gdb outputs. Note that tag_get()
returns -1 and root_tag_get() returns 1048576.

(gdb) n
399             while (height > 0) {
(gdb) n
402                     offset = (index >> shift) & RADIX_TREE_MAP_MASK;
(gdb)
403                     if (!tag_get(slot, tag, offset))
(gdb)
404                             tag_set(slot, tag, offset);
(gdb) p tag_get(slot, tag, offset)
$14 = 0
(gdb) n
405                     slot = slot->slots[offset];
(gdb) p tag_get(slot, tag, offset)
$15 = -1
(gdb) n
406                     BUG_ON(slot == NULL);
(gdb) n
407                     shift -= RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT;
(gdb) n
408                     height--;
(gdb) n
399             while (height > 0) {
(gdb) n
412             if (slot && !root_tag_get(root, tag))
(gdb) p root_tag_get(root, tag)
$16 = 0
(gdb) n
413                     root_tag_set(root, tag);
(gdb) n
415             return slot;
(gdb) p root_tag_get(root, tag)
$17 = 1048576
